The ArianeB 6.4 walkthroughs: How to challenge ArianeB for an underwater race?

Although there are plenty of pool activities in the ArianeB game, its
maker decided a few versions ago to add a new challenge: the underwater
race. Geeks will drool over the beauty and versatility of the Javascript
code the simulation has been written in, but all I can do is wonder how
on Earth a young woman can live in a house with a private pool and only
have one bikini?

Go to the backyard.Get in the hot tub. ArianeB jumps in the hot
tub with her clothes on.

Change clothes.Follow her into the bedroom.Let her finish
getting ready.Go somewhere else.

Go back outside in a towel. ArianeB proposes to have a skinny dip in
the pool.Go skinny dipping.Jump in naked.Keep swimming
naked.

Challenge her to a race.Get ready to race.A.B.C.

Basically you need to click the letters A, B and C in the right order
and in the right time. The racetime parameter measures the time
(in milliseconds) between the first and the last mouse click and decides
who is the winner.

To win the game you need to click the three letters in between 2000
and 3000 milliseconds (or 2 and 3 seconds). If you click too fast
the game tells you are out of breath, if you click too slow it means
that you are too slow for ArianeB. The 3 underwater scenarios all have
nice images.

Keep racing.Go back to complete the lap.Finish race.It was a
good race. The actual phrases may change and depend on your clicking
speed.

Follow her out of the pool.

The game is all yours, but if you have won and enter the kitchen ArianeB
will ask for a rematch.I want a rematch. Want to get back in the
pool and race again?Accept suggestion.

The ArianeB 6.4 walkthroughs: How to play the trivia game?

ArianeB likes a riddle and a challenge and in this scenario we will have
a go at the nightclub trivia game. Personally I find this one of the
weaker parts of the simulation as it does nothing more, in my opinion
anyway, than hold up the game. We start with the compliments and the
steak dinner.

Go for a drive. Immediately click on the car after the dinner.Go
for a drive.Go downtown.

Go to the nightclub.Go to bar.I’m driving so club soda please.

Play bar trivia game.Get first question.

In the bar trivia game you will be asked a couple of questions and the
goal of the game is of course to give the right answers. here is the
list of all possible questions, and, noblesse oblige, their
answers.

Go to gas station.Fill up tank. ArianeB has bought a camera.Hit
the road.

Head to outskirts.Take a scenic drive out of town.Continue drive.Get
out and look around.

Enjoy the view. ArianeB tests the camera.Ask to take her
picture.Take snapshot.

ArianeB will only model if you compliment her after
each picture. If you forget this or go to fast she will end the session.

Ask her to try a modeling pose. Say 'Gorgeous'. (click on her head
for the compliment, the text will appear at the bottom of the screen)Ask
her for an even sexier pose. Say 'Very sexy'.Ask her to pose
topless. Say 'You could sell jeans to me'.Ask her to be less modest,
more sexy. Say 'You are so beautiful'.

Ask her to take her pants off. Say 'I couldn't help it, you have a nice
butt'.Ask her to pose in her underwear. Say 'Wow, now that is sexy!'.Face
the camera and slowly lower your panties. Say 'The innocent look is so
cute'. By now ArianeB is getting a bit scary and she asks you what to
do next.

Say 'I'll let you decide. You can quit anytime.' Say 'That was a brave
sexy move.'Say 'Let's try an artistic nude by the car'. Say 'You are
too hot to be arrested'.Ask her for something more erotic. Say 'You
are really getting into this'.Ask her for full backside nudity. Say
'Nice ass'. You could probably see more than my ass from that angle.

Ask her for a tight boob shot. Say 'Your breasts are beautiful in any
position'. ArianeB is a bit tired of being the only model, so she has
got an idea.Give her the camera.Take off your clothes and
pose nude.Let it all hang out.

Pose for a gratuitous penis shot.Is this sexy enough? The end
picture of the photo shoot can go different ways, if you want to try all
endings out you will have to play this scenario more than once.

Either you can:How about you touching my penis? (Do not
forget to return the favor afterwards.)or:How about a
gratuitous pussy shot?

The ArianeB 6.3 walkthroughs: How to have a slightly different photoshoot?

(This walkthrough only partially works with ArianeB 6.4. An update is
posted here: How to have a photoshoot?) The previous walkthrough showed
us how to have a photo shoot after dinner (with ArianeB dressed
casually). It has been said before that different situations can (and
will) be triggered according to previous circumstances. In this
walkthrough we will get a slightly different photo shoot after having a
bikini dinner. ArianeB will first change clothes when we decide to leave
the house. (This walkthrough has been upgraded on the 25th of
March 2010, thanks to Fraekke.)

After dinner: Go somewhere else.Go back inside.Go to the bedroom
to get dressed.Follow her into the bedroom.Let her get her pants
on.

Go somewhere else.Go for a drive.Go for a drive.Go to gas
station.Fill up tank. ArianeB has bought a camera.

Hit the road.Head to outskirts.Take a scenic drive out of town.Continue
drive.

Get out and look around.Enjoy the view.Ask to take her picture.Take
snapshot.

The game of modeling and complimenting will start again.Ask
her to try a modeling pose. Say 'Gorgeous'. (Compliment her by
clicking her face)Ask her for an even sexier pose. Say 'Very
sexy'.

Ask her to pose in her underwear.Take a picture of her in her
underwear. Say'Nice legs'.Action shot-jump in the air. Say'You would
look good even in motion blur'.

Pull your shirt down over your panties. Say'Yes thats what I'm looking
for.Let's try some sexy photos by the car. True, but you have the
pinup look.Your panties are not very sexy, a thong would be better.
Wow that is daring and very hot.Step back, bend over, and stretch
toward the car. I like that look, this is the best picture yet.

Two different shots can be taken here...

Semi Nude Front ShotHow about a semi nude front shot? I'll
let you decide what you want to do next.I'm ready when you are. Wow,
you are incredible.

Nude Back Shot How about a nude back shot? That is a nice
sexy pose.Pose facing forward. Wow, you are incredible.

After the previous shots the game will revert back to the 'default'
ending from the previous walkthrough.

Get in the car and relax for a picture. I'm feeling more relaxed
already. Relaxed looks good on you (compliment her).Try
playing with your breasts. Say 'Your breasts are beautiful in any
position'.

ArianeB is a bit tired of being the only model, so she has got an idea.Give
her the camera.

An alternative ending to the photoshoot session was given to me by Fraekke.
Here it is:

Take off your clothes and pose nude.Cover your genitals. ArianeB
understands that you are being modest and proposes to show hers if you
show yours.

You can either: Pose for gratuitous penis shot.Or:OK,
you go first then.

How about one of my penis between your legs?Got the money shot.Ungh!...
Ungh!... Ungh!... Ungh!... Ungh!... Ungh!... Ungh!... Ungh!... Ungh!...

The ArianeB 6.4 walkthroughs: How to play some bikini basket?

The last few walkthroughs will use the art of recycling past ideas and
will show you some situations that have all been described before, but
with a twist. In a very early walkthrough we explained how to play
basketball with ArianeB: How
to play (and win) the basketball game? In this variation the game is
played in bikini (worn by ArianeB of course).

Go to the kitchen for dessert.Eat dessert.Go to the bedroom to
put on a swimsuit.Wait for her in the hallway.

Go to the backyard. There is no other option.Go back inside.Go
to the kitchen.

ArianeB will grab in her bag of suggestions:

Let`s get in my car and go for a drive downtown.Ask if she has other
ideas.

How about we take a walk to the park and do something there?Accept
the suggestion.

Wait for her to put her shoes on.Follow her to the park.

Go to the park.Follow her to the park.Try a shot. To make the
first shot you need to throw the ball inside the rectangle, consult the
screenshot here.

Her turn to shoot.Let her shoot.Take your shot. To make the
second shot you need to hit the circle here.

Her turn to shoot.Defend the basket. The ArianeB code randomly
makes her miss or hit the second and third shots. ArianeB will
try to disturb you by showing some flesh.

Aim here. To make the 3 point jumper you need to hit the basketball
backboard exactly where the circle
is located.Wow that's a tough shot and you made it!Finish
game.

Go back to her place. (The simulation is all yours. I suggest going to
the store to grab some beers. Ariane will feel again overdressed after a
couple of Carlsberg.)

An easy way to win at basketball is to download the patch
pack and to replace the original images with the patched ones. But
as always, (deliberately) loosing the game, will show alternative
images. As far as I have tested the game, the result of the basketball
game does not influence next events.

Unzip the PATCH621.zip file.Replace the pictures in the
'datingsimulator/images' folder with the patched ones.The new
pictures highlight the hotpoints to win:the basketball gamethe
stargazing gamethe handstand on the beach

The 'originals' folder contains the original unpatched images if you
would like to restore the game.

The ArianeB 6.4 walkthroughs: How to show some nude gymnastic skillsand watch the stars (again)?

In our continuing series of recycling old ideas I will now show how you
can have a gymnastic demonstration at the playground, but this time with
ArianeB wearing her evening dress. The only problem is that in that kind
of dress ArianeB isn't really suited to hang upside down from the monkey
bars. Basically this is a variation of the walkthrough: How
to get to the playground?

Go to the bedroom to put on a swimsuit.Follow her into the bedroom.Let
her finish.Go to the backyard.

Go swimming.Jump in with her.Swim some more.Let’s get out of
the pool.Follow her out of the pool.

Go back inside.Take a shower.Follow her into the bathroom.Continue
to watch.

Grab a towel.Take a shower.Get dressed and go for a drive. (click
on the car)

Follow her into the bedroom.Let her finish dressing.Go for a
drive.Go downtown.

Go to the nightclub.Go to bar.I’m driving so club soda please.Ask
her to dance.

Keep dancing.Protect Ariane.Get her away from this guy.Get
out of the club.

Head back home.Go to the kitchen. ArianeB's suggestion box opens:

How about we take a walk to the park and do something there?Accept
the suggestion.Wait for her to put her shoes on.Follow her to
the park.

Take the other swing.Finish swinging.Climb on top and hang
upside down.Ask her to show her gymnastic skills.

Tell her she is doing well anyways. I'm going to take off my shoes
and dress and see if I still have my old skills.I don’t mind at
all.Wow! That is pretty good.Applaud.

Follow her back to her place.Go to the backyard.Sit and look at
the stars (hotpoint right from the hot tub just above the wine glass)

If you have downloaded and installed the 6.21
- 6.4 patch there is nothing to worry about as the answers will
be visible on the screen. In case of doubt you can always consult the
walkthrough: How to look at
the sky (and win the gamble)? Let's presume you have given the
correct answer... (you will have to in order to continue.)

Absolutely right! Choose your reward. Do you want me to Go out
and get some beer?, or take my dress off?Do you want
me to take my dress off? You can always have that beer later if
you want.Let her undress.Kiss her.Stop kissing.Kiss
her on the neck.Stop necking.

If you don't have an idea what to do next you will have to read all the
walkthroughs over again...

Unzip the PATCH621.zip file.Replace the pictures in the
'datingsimulator/images' folder with the patched ones.The new
pictures highlight the hotpoints to win:the basketball gamethe
stargazing gamethe handstand on the beach

The 'originals' folder contains the original unpatched images if you
would like to restore the game.

In our continuing series of the ArianeB walkthrough recycling program I
will now show you how to get to the stripclub, bypassing Rebecca. As
Rebecca will not be present you will not see her show, ArianeB however
will have to make the moves that have already been explained in How
to go to the strip club with Rebecca?

When in shit, call IT (True Story IV)

This is a true story.Again.I work for the Belgian branch of a
company that has a few thousand employees and this week it was big chief
powwow day, meaning that the meeting room would be constantly visited by
people of slowly descending picking order until the bosses would find
someone they could blame for whatever reason they would like to blame
him (or her) for.

The CEO invaded the meeting room, with in his slipstream the three
vice-CEO-s (we like to call them the holy trinity) representing sales
and marketing, bookkeeping and the third who likes calling herself the
caca-manager in lack of a proper job description. A coffee machine was
hauled in with a select choice of espressos, mild long coffees, strong
long coffees and the obligate brown liquid of the decaffeinated kind.
All they missed now was George Clooney to make a funny comment.

From my desk I heard how somebody’s - anybody's - telephone rang, the
person in question would hastily leave, with a face red as Heinz tomato
ketchup, towards the meeting room and several minutes later he / she
would reappear, with a face grey as ash, trying to keep that certain air
of je ne sais quoi although we all knew that he / she would go
sobbing later on in the toilets.

We were looking at each other every time a telephone rang. Then a happy
sigh when it didn’t come from the staff but just from a complaining
customer.

Then my telephone rang. Everybody was looking at me. It’s the meeting
room, I whispered. Eyes big as saucers were looking into my direction. I
cleared my throat. And said: Felix Atagong, IT department.

Yeah Felix, said the big chief, sorry to disturb you, but do you happen
to know where the toilet paper is?

I had to confess that I didn’t know the present state of our current
toilet paper stock. There was howling laughter in the background.

The ArianeB 6.4 walkthroughs: ArianeB jumps in the pool with her clothes onand gets plastered on whiskey!

Trevor send me a nice mail showing me an alternative way to continue
with the story after ArianeB has jumped into the pool with her clothes
on. Pool scenarios 1 and 2 can be found at the following walkthrough: Will
ArianeB jump in the pool with her clothes on?. Obviously I
investigated this a bit further and found out that going to the kitchen
will trigger the whiskey scenario as well, but this time with ArianeB
dressed in a towel (see also: How
to get the liquor in the lady?).

Go to the backyard.Go swimming. ArianeB will jump in the pool
with her clothes on.Yell!Change clothes.Follow her into
the bedroom. ArianeB doesn't seem to mind at all.Let her
finish getting ready.Go somewhere else.

Grab her boob.Romantic.Go inside and take a shower. Suddenly
ArianeB is wearing a towel again. This is a possible bug because
a picture of ArianeB entering the shower without her clothes on does
exist (enterbath6.jpg).Follow her into the bathroom.Continue
to watch.Grab a towel. Now ArianeB puts on a towel.Take a
shower.

Whiskey Scenario 2

Go to the kitchen. The ArianeB suggestion pack kicks in.

I`m out of beer, lets go to the convenience store for a six pack?Ask
if she has got any other ideas.

What do you say we grab some whiskey out of the cabinet and get
plastered?Accept the suggestion.
